American Airlines lifts ground stop that froze Christmas Eve travelers

In a statement sent to NPR, American says the widespread delays were caused by a "vendor technology issue" affecting systems that are needed for a flight to be "released" — one of the final key steps before a plane takes off from an airport.

Early circumstances around Tuesday's outage seemed ominous, reminding travelers of a nightmare scenario that played out two years ago when computer problems fueled a meltdown for Southwest Airlines as it tried to cope with bad weather during the holidays. Southwest stranded millions of travelers — and was later ordered to pay a $140 million civil penalty.

Walmart illegally opened delivery drivers' deposit accounts, U.S. says

A federal lawsuit alleges that Walmart deceived more than a million delivery drivers by creating deposit accounts without their knowledge or consent, using their Social Security numbers and other personal information.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Monday accused Walmart and payments platform Branch Messenger of costing delivery drivers over $10 million in fees through these accounts since 2021. Walmart, in turn, accused the agency of filing a rushed lawsuit full of errors.

'We are not California': New Jersey dealers push back on electric truck rules

As a handful of states start adopting California's sales mandates for zero-emission trucks, dealers in New Jersey are pushing back. These rules are designed to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles in heavy trucking. They require truck manufacturers to ensure at least 7% of their total sales are zero-emission in the states that are opting in to the regulations.

Currently, 10 other states have chosen to follow these Advanced Clean Truck rules, which are also known as ACT. But a push by dealers in New Jersey to delay implementation of the rules shows the battle lines over these mandates. There's no indication that the push will succeed; the rules are set to go into effect at the start of the new year, and New Jersey's governor has indicated support for the current timeline.

The bald eagle joins the rose, the bison, and the oak tree as an official American symbol

President Joe Biden recently signed a bill making the bald eagle the official national bird of the U.S., despite its long-standing role on the Great Seal. This law ensures the eagle is recognized alongside other national symbols like the oak tree and the bison. Advocates had expressed concern that without this designation, another bird might overshadow the eagle.

Bird flu has killed 20 big cats including cougars at a U.S. wildlife sanctuary

An animal sanctuary in Shelton, Wash., is under quarantine after a bird flu outbreak killed 20 big cats at the facility over the past month. The Wild Felid Advocacy Center of Washington called the deaths "heartbreaking," confirming the virus has claimed more than half its animals, including four cougars and a half-Bengal tiger, since late November.

The sanctuary said the outbreak may have been caused by respiratory secretions passed from infected birds to the cats or by contaminated meat fed to the cats. It said bird flu poses a serious risk to felines, often progressing from mild symptoms to fatal pneumonia within 24 hours.
